The Student Wellness Centre exists to provide support for students. Our wellness peers offer one-on-one support sessions, health & wellness programming, and help students to find information in a safe, welcoming, and inclusive space by identifying resources available to them, and providing referrals when required.

A Student Support Referral is an online service that enables instructors to identify and assist students who are struggling or at risk of falling behind. A referral to the Student Support Centre provides early intervention so small problems don’t turn into large problems and students connect to the resources they need. After a Student Support Referral is received, a Student Support Coordinator will reach out and provide support.

It focuses on three main objectives: building greater awareness and understanding of mental health, reducing stigma, and fostering a safe and supportive work culture. It provides learning opportunities remotely to deal with emotions and stress, encourages opening up, and has a page dedicated to further support those who need it.
